How to Draw Toothless

STEP 1.

First, begin with the essential basic guidelines before you jump into the actual structure of Toothless. Take your time drawing these lines as they play as a foundation/skeleton for your drawing. I recommend to use colored pencils for this for easier cleanup later on.

STEP 2.

Then, move onto drawing the facial structure before you start drawing the facial detailing. This is important since Toothless's head is rather a blocky oval shape. Take your time and determine where to place the lines by using the guidelines.

STEP 3.

Next, draw the eyes and the nostrils. This will need patience since the eyes are like pointed ovals at the corners. Remember to take your time!

STEP 4.

Then, we must draw the pupils and the mouth line for Toothless! As you can see, the middle of mouth is dented upwards because his face is actually pointed. This is why it's important to know your perspective. Don't forget to add the brows that add depth to the eyes.

STEP 5.

Let's get to drawing the weird limbs that frame Toothless's face! This should be fun as it was definitely for me! Take your time and match up the lines with the guides you drew from Step 1.

STEP 6.

Lastly, finish off by keeping in tune with the guidelines and draw the body. The Night Fury has a short neck that extends into a slim but stubby body.

STEP 7.

With added fixtures and cleaning up, you should result with this! See how cute he is? I thought by drawing the cute version of Toothless, would add to the collection of "How to Train Your Dragon characters". I had a lot of fun painting and creating this lesson for you folks. Thanks so much for viewing and don't forget to leave feedback on how you did!
